    Phillips Ceramic MH

    Does anyone know a reliable source to purchase the 400watt Phillips Mastercolor CMH as part of a complete system? I am also looking for a couple 150watt Phillips CMH replacement bulbs for a couple of mini-sunburst hps lamps. I have tried 1000bulbs and got screwed around by them. I have purchased...

    Ceramic MH GE vs. Phillips

    Ok, so the sales tactics and prices on this website seemed a little fishy...so I called and left messages 3 times and got no reply. Obviously, I did not do business with them. I have not been able to find any shop that sells the Phillips bulb along with a complete lighting system. I ordered a...

    best cfl's for flowering?

    These guys are absolutely right. Triple up on those cfls. 1 6500k for every 2-3 2700k. Switch her over to bloom nutrients. 70 days give or take and you should have a QP! That's how much I ended up with on my first Blueberry grow using a 150w HPS and 4 23w 6500k cfls.

    Flowering time and flush

    My Blueberries take 65-70 days and I cut the nutes off at around day 55. I run 2 gallons of water through them and give them plain water for the last 10-14 days. This has been working well for me. I have a cheapie my-first-microscope, and let me tell you, this thing is awesome! I use it almost...

    CFL or HID lights for my build?

    These guys are not joking about the need for ventilation with HIDs! I spent about 3x the money and effort on ventilation than I thought I would spend when I started using HIDs. I started out with CFLs and shoplights and upgraded to HID later on, when everything was already up and running. I am...

I keep the mama in a separate chamber with an OG Kush mother. 10 days ago I cloned the mama and she immediately started showing signs of stress; yellowing leaves, purpling stems;5 days later she developed preflowers...

    Need help

    I agree with greenlikemoney. Hit those girls with some bloom nutes and give them a little molasses tea. Do that once a week for the next 6 weeks, then flush them. Bringing them in at night is fine as long as the temp and humidity are close to that outdoors, and as long as its not disturbing...

    Brand new here and looking for help

    Just make sure they are getting a steady 12/12 (or pretty close) of light and dark under the gazebo. You can back WAY off on the nitrogen; like say 5-15-10 or 10-30-20. And don't go pissing your neighbor off. He might just swipe your crop or worse...

    First time grower...Not sure what this is?

    Looks to me like the spilling of the nutes is the problem. Not a big deal if it is. You should turn off your HIDs when taking pics of the garden, and use either a flash or just side-lighting. That's why you have stripes in your pic.

    Ceramic MH GE vs. Phillips

    I switched over from 400w HPS to 400w CMH about a month ago. I have noticed an increase in trichomes in size and number, an earlier ripening time, and some otherworldly colors on my sugar leaves and hairs. I am going to switch my other HPS over to a CMH. The CMH I am currently using is a GE. I...

    molasses during flowering

    Im having amazing results with Slow-As pure unsulphured black strap molasses. I give my girls 1 Tbspn per gallon during weeks 5, 6,7 and 8 of a 10 week flower right along with their regular nutes. I mix it with hot water and a half teaspoon of table sugar and then mix it with their regular...

    Cold air and spider mites....

    My friend just killed 2 of his 4 plants in a tiny stealth grow just 5 days after introducing the Hot Shot No Pest Strip. He was 2 weeks away from harvest. They are really bad for your pets and they can cause rashes and blurred vision in humans. The warning labels on the box pretty much say it all.

    Mother Plant Showing Pre-Flowers

    Well, Im going to give her a good leaching and see if that helps. Now that you mention it, it DOES sound like nutrient lock. This IS DJ Shorts BB, so its comforting to hear that she is quick to pre-flower. Thanks for the advice everyone.
